Villa omit new signing Harwood-Bellis and teenager Madjo from Champions League squad

Aston Villa have decided to leave newly signed Taylor Harwood-Bellis and teenage striker Brian Madjo out of their squad for the Champions League group stage. The move comes as the club finalises its 25‑player list for the competition. It signals a focus on experienced options while the young players continue to develop with the first team.

Aston Villa announced its 25‑player squad for the Champions League group stage, and the list does not include newly signed Taylor Harwood‑Bellis or teenage striker Brian Madjo.

Harwood‑Bellis joined the club in the summer, while Madjo is a home‑grown talent who has been training with the first team. Both players have been involved in preseason and friendly matches but were omitted from the European squad.

The decision reflects the club’s strategy to prioritise experienced options for the competition, as the group stage will feature some of Europe’s top clubs. By leaving the youngsters out, Villa can focus on a settled lineup for the high‑stakes matches.

With squad size restrictions in place, managers must make tough choices about who will travel and play. Villa’s omission of Harwood‑Bellis and Madjo means they will remain available for domestic cup and league fixtures, where they can continue to gain experience.

The club will keep monitoring the development of both players, and they may become eligible for the knockout stages or other competitions as the season progresses.
